Microsoft's Majorana moment in question

Microsoft Unveils Majorana 1: A Quantum Computing Breakthrough
Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a "Topological Core" architecture, potentially enabling powerful quantum computers within years instead of decades. The breakthrough stems from a newly developed material called a topoconductor,
Microsoft's quantum chip Majorana 1 is a few qubits short
There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.
Microsoft's Majorana moment in question: Breakthrough or boy who cried quantum?
Microsoft's recent announcement of the Majorana 1 quantum processor, a topological qubit-wielding breakthrough so bold it's designed on physics that aren't fully established yet, has come under scrutiny — and it may only have itself to blame.
Microsoft’s New Majorana 1 Processor Could Transform Quantum Computing
The processor uses qubits that can be measured without error and are resistant to outside interference, which the company says marks a “transformative leap toward practical quantum computing.”
Microsoft announces quantum computing breakthrough with new Majorana 1 chip
Microsoft has outlined its research in a peer-reviewed paper published today in Nature, explaining how its researchers were able to create the topological qubit. Microsoft has helped create a new material made from indium arsenide and aluminum, and it has placed eight topological qubits on a chip that it hopes can eventually scale to 1 million.
